Public bug reported:
[Impact]
parted currently exposes the same generic model name for all NVMe devices. That
can make it difficult to distinguish devices in your system, especially at
install-time.
[Test Case]
When unfixed:
# parted /dev/nvme0n1 -s print | grep Model
Model: NVMe Device (nvme)
When fixed, you'll see the NVMe device model.
[Fix]
This is fixed upstream in the following commit, which applies to Debian's
package with only minor offset adjustments:
279bd554 Read NVMe model names from sysfs
[Regression Risk]
The fix is coded to fallback to the generic name if no model string is found.
If something is buggy with this patch, it could lead to installer crashes.
